The 2007 NBA Draft is only hours away.
That means the 2008 draft is only a year away.
I know, I know, this is jumping a gun a little seeing as how this year’s picks have yet to be made, this year’s millionaires have yet to be named. And yet, there are already folks out there thinking about what happens next year.
Ran across this mock draft on nbadraft.net. I don’t know who what’s more interesting — that they’ve projected the draft order or that they’ve predicted Oklahoma big man Longar Longar will be an early second-round pick.
That’s right. The lanky project player is being considered a kid with NBA potential. Wasn’t that long ago that Longar was the guy at the end of the bench that the student section chanted for in a blowout.
You know the drill. Home team gets big lead. Students let the visiting team know it by chanting the name of the kid buried deepest on the bench, begging the coach to put him in for some trash time.
Longar was that guy a year and a half ago. Now he’s could be drafted in the second round?
Go figure.
